Chapter 8 Brewing and Fermentation
There is no doubt that the person who did it was Chu Ge.
Although his movements were stealthy and fast, it didn't prevent others from discovering it.
In other words, he never thought to deliberately hide what he had done.
"Do you want to bring the honor of the Antuno family to shame?!"
Probably because Chu Ge's behavior was too shocking, Henry didn't care about continuing to wear his mask at this time.
Although he kept shouting for honor, he did not do anything to defend honor.
At least didn't even think to look at the young man lying in a pool of blood.
Chu Ge seemed to be frightened by Henry's angry rebuke, and looked a little helpless holding the dagger, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Ino, I ask you, why did you kill him?"
Henry took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
"This, I ......"
Victor looked a little impatient and chimed in:
"Speak quickly!"
Chu Ge was obviously stunned for a moment, and then loudly argued:
"Didn't you imply that I did it, Mr. Victor?"
Henry and Oliver were stunned, while Phil immediately turned his blade towards Victor.
His Excellency's face twitched violently, such a serious slander really did not allow him to continue to calm down, gritted his teeth and said:
"Do you know what you're talking about? Bastard! ”
The anger in his voice was self-evident, and there was a big fight if he didn't agree with him.
Chu Ge didn't seem to be able to accept the other party's attitude at all, his face was full of anger and innocence, and he looked like an innocent teenager who had been framed by a wicked person:
"Mr. Victor, how can you do this! Didn't you give me the order when you stepped back? ”
Victor was stunned, as Henry's assistant, he was actually a sinister and cowardly person in his bones, and when he first met the Night Seed just now, and when Simon appeared, he would retreat to the rear, ready to flee at any time.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ge caught the flaw like this, and directly relied on him for this matter.
For Chu Ge, killing Simon was indeed a temporary intention, and there was actually no such thing in the original plan, but since it was possible to kill the target by a more convenient means, why not do it?
The additional price is just the sacrifice of an innocent person's life.
He dared to throw dirty water at Victor so decisively, naturally because he knew the relationship between Henry and Victor.
Although he had never met Victor in his previous life, this did not prevent him from investigating and understanding.
Victor is indeed a lackey of Henry, but the suspicious Henry does not fully trust the other party and always has reservations about Victor, and Victor also has his own secrets and is not Henry's real confidant.
Victor always has a cold feeling, which makes people involuntarily think of poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows, and Henry knows this better than the others, knowing that the other party is not a good kind.
Although Chu Ge had only been with the other people for a few hours, he had already fully displayed his simple and dull character in front of several people, and it was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
How could such a simple and dull guy take the initiative to kill people, and how dare he blame Victor?
Under the influence of this preconceived notion, let alone three mercenaries, even Henry was shaken.
After all, they prefer to trust their own judgment rather than the truth.
I prefer to believe in the "results" that have been obtained through my own "rational analysis".
That's the truth in their minds.
It's just that Henry is a little strange why Victor would suddenly do such an outrageous thing.
Seeing the expressions of several people around him, Victor's trembling body suddenly stopped.
After taking a sharp breath, he glanced at Chu Ge deeply, twitched his lips and grinned, and said word by word:
"Well done,"
"Pretty !!"
Pun intended!
It is not only an acknowledgment of this "fact" to several people, but also a method of praising Chu Ge.
He is definitely not an idiot, he understands that in this case, it is absolutely impossible to justify it clearly!
Since there is no way to defend it, there is only one choice to admit it.
As for killing that daring boy?
Don't be kidding, don't do that to confirm his "identity" even more, the other three mercenaries will definitely not stand by and let him kill people.
Although I don't know what old grudges that kid has with him, I can only make him proud for a while.
Anyway, in the end, no one can run!
In fact, Victor was wrong about one thing, and that was Chu Ge's true purpose.
As for the blame, it was just an excuse, a means for him to continue to cover up.
In order for him to be able to continue exploring the ruins with everyone after killing Simon.
This method is actually extremely risky, at least the neatness of the shot just now, there is a high possibility that it will arouse the suspicion of others.
Still, he did it because he felt it was more efficient and more interesting – even if the consequences of failure would undo his previous efforts.
A big gamble!
He was a rather casual man in his own right, and after three years of suffering, he cared little about anything but freedom, whether it was his own dignity or the lives of innocent people.
In other words, he doesn't care about other people's eyes.
I don't know if it's because he's used to pretending, or if this kind of character is inherently latent in his nature, in short, he has numbed other people's perceptions of him.
Abuse and ridicule, praise and encouragement, these are difficult to make his emotions really fluctuate.
What he cares about more is his own will and freedom.
Unwilling to act under the pressure of others, hating the feeling of being controlled by the will, that's all.
While everyone has this feeling, he resists more than most people – and certainly endures it even more!
This extreme personality hadn't manifested itself in him until he entered the game in his previous life.
Therefore, driven by this ego, he did not hesitate to sacrifice Simon's life to put his purpose into practice.
The effect is even better than he imagined!
It was perfect!
When the atmosphere was almost frozen, Mr. Henry, as the leader, was finally the first to accept this fact, and said to Chu Ge and Victor with a dark face:
"Simon is dead, nothing more will help, as an adventurer he must be prepared for the moment of death, there is no doubt about it."
"I don't want to dwell on what happened at this time, and if I want to keep going, forget about what just happened."
After glancing at each other, the three mercenaries also agreed with this statement, after all, they had also thought about killing Simon at the beginning, so it was not more difficult to accept than Henry.
After seeing that several people finally calmed down, Henry glanced at Chu Ge and Victor again, and said:
"Then for Simon's death, this is the end, I don't want any more disputes in the team, and I will try my best to compensate the deceased when I get out."
I don't know if the "dead" he refers to is Simon who has fallen, or someone else.
Although the exploration continues, there is undoubtedly a fundamental change from the beginning.
